Aspiring writers are invited to explore?the series of ‘green stories’ writing competitions being run by Dr Denise Baden, Associate Professor within 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 Business School.
Denise’s research shows that solution-based stories or stories that incorporate green ideas/characters in the context of an otherwise mainstream story are more likely to inspire greener behaviours than catastrophic tales of climate change. So as a way to raise awareness, she is asking writers to check out potentially transformative solutions on the Green Stories website?and integrate them into their stories.
Applications are invited for a playwriting competition (deadline June 2019), a radio play/series competition (deadline July 2019), a novel competition (deadline August 2019) and other formats (film tv, interactive fiction etc.).
All competitions are free to enter and there are prizes available and routes to production/publication already set up. As an example, the BBC Writers room has agreed to read the top 5 scripts in the radio, tv and film categories and follow up any writers they are interested in.
A writer’s workshop has been organised for?19 and 20 January 2019 to generate ideas. More information and booking details are available here.
